Chapter 142 I Just Know You Are So Beautiful (12)
But before the start of the second game, the emperor once again made a choking statement.
The emperor said, "My sons have grown up and have their own gangs. How about letting your supporters come in and play this round? If you don't appoint someone to help, I will do it for you."
This statement was full of hidden meanings, implicitly criticizing the princes for forming cliques and pursuing their own interests. But in fact, not to mention the Crown Prince, the Princes Xian, Xia, Ning, and Rui, the other princes also had their own cliques, but their power was not as strong as theirs.
Shangguan Jinghao showed the demeanor of a prince at this time, without any shyness. He let Wang Mang step out when he left. Although Wang Mang was a civil servant, he often went hunting with the prince, and had superb riding and archery skills. The prince also let Professor De Duma, who had a handsome face, also have very good riding and archery skills. The prince let the two of them join, as well as Cao Zhaonan.
Unfortunately, Shen Qingling was not good at riding and shooting, so she did not go with them... The prince patted her on the shoulder, and she smiled and said she wished His Highness success. The emperor asked her to watch the game beside him, so she went over...
There are two people in King Xia's group who cannot be ignored. One of them is the chief servant Xia Haibing. With his joining, Fan Rusu and several other chief servants were also brought in. The other chief servants stayed in the enclosure to lead the army to protect the emperor. The other one was Zong Pu, who had never been a private party. He also joined King Xia's camp with Xia Haibing.
Like Wang Mang, Zong Pu was not good at martial arts, but he was an excellent rider and archer.
As for the group of Prince Ning, Prince Ning and his wife are both good at riding and shooting. General Qin and the eldest son have returned to the border for garrisoning. The second and third sons of the Qin family and the sisters Qin Qiuyu and Qin Dongning have become Prince Ning's helpers with their excellent riding and shooting skills.
These were the backbones of each group. The Crown Prince and Princes Xia and Ning each selected the best fighters from the guards accompanying them in the palace to make up the number of ten.
Lang Linling was also good at riding and shooting, but due to her physical condition, she seldom practiced and could not be said to be very skilled. King Rui also allowed her to watch the competition because of her physical condition.
Lang Linling was a sensible woman and did not argue.
Instead, she acted like a little bit of a spoiled child again, saying that she was also proficient in riding and shooting, and wanted to go into the hunting area with Prince Rui. This again attracted a lot of attention, and Prime Minister Lang and Empress Lang were disgusted. However, Lang Linling did not say anything, but persuaded them to give up, and recommended three good riders and archers from the Lang residence.
She knew that Prince Rui must have brought secret guards with him, but firstly, he didn't want the emperor to notice anything, and secondly, to save Lang Linling's face, Prince Rui included the Lang family members in the group. If possible, she didn't want to go on this trip, but although she didn't know how to fight, she could help with riding and shooting.
But what should we do in the current situation
Jing Ping supported King Rui, while Lao Tie and the others each took a guard from the Lang Mansion. In front of them was their hunting tent, which was used for rest. There were horses tied outside the tent, and bows and arrows were ready on horseback...
Everyone planned to bring Prince Rui and the people from Lang Mansion in to make further plans. She silently led the beauty and followed behind.
Jing Qing had been with Prince Rui for many years. Although he could not diagnose and treat serious illnesses, he had some basic medical skills. He felt Prince Rui's pulse and said that his pulse was stable. Although he was unconscious, his will was very strong and his consciousness seemed to be somewhat clear. He could feel that he was using his internal energy to force out the poison and heal his wounds...
Everyone was surprised and happy, hoping that he would wake up as soon as possible...
After settling Prince Rui and the guards of the Lang Mansion, everyone sat down in the tent. Fang Ming looked at Jing Ping with a heavy expression, "I can't take charge of the overall situation, but we need someone to make decisions. Jing Ping, you have always been good at strategy. Before I wake up, you should make the decision first. We will follow your orders. We can't lose this game no matter what..."
He paused and suddenly lowered his voice.

"Although it's just speculation, I always feel that the emperor intends to give the military token to me this time, and this competition is just a cover... My riding and archery skills are needless to say. When I was young, I once followed the emperor out hunting. He played a tune with a flute in the forest. Miraculously, all the wild animals of all sizes nearby came out... At that time, I was by his side and saw it clearly. The scene was indeed amazing... With my current martial arts, if I hadn't been injured, I would have used my internal energy to play a tune, and the sound would have spread far away, and I'm afraid it would have attracted all the wild animals within a hundred miles..."
When he said this, everyone was shocked. Without guessing the emperor's intention, if King Rui had this method, it would not be impossible for him to win this game! The military token that was originally within his reach was now... Could it be that it was really God's will
Lao Tie stood up and said in a deep voice: "Jingping, you take charge. I will do whatever you say... Even if I have to risk getting seriously injured, I will still hunt a few fierce beasts..."
Even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice. They simply do not have enough people, how can they fight... Jing Ping smiled bitterly, and then suddenly remembered something. He stood up and walked in front of Qiao Chu, and glanced at everyone, "The person who makes the decision should be Master Qiao..."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was shocked. Jing Qing stuttered slightly, "How can she..."
He remembered the little prince's words in his heart, and was both surprised and wary of Qiaochu. He also remembered Qiaochu's violation of the rules in the first game, and suddenly became angry. He said, "Brother, don't you think about what she did? She almost prevented me from entering the second game."
Lao Tie and Fang Ming, especially Fang Ming, had a good impression of Qiao Chu, but when they recalled that she had asked King Rui to lead her in archery in the competition just now, that was indeed an act of usurpation. How could it work if they let her take the lead
Jing Ping sighed slightly and lowered his voice a bit, "If I'm not mistaken, that arrow was shot by Master Qiao on my behalf. Otherwise, why would I let her enter the hunting area?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Jing Qing cried out and almost fell off his chair... Qiao Chu thanked Jing Ping, looked at them again, and said, "Of course I can't make this decision, but time is running out. We need to come up with a solution as soon as possible, otherwise, all the efforts that the Eighth Master has made for the military token will be wasted."
Lao Tie and Fang Ming were the first to nod, and Jing Qing said worriedly: "But is there any way?"
Jing Ping was suddenly startled, and felt that everyone was unknowingly following Qiaochu as their leader...
Qiaochu frowned as he looked at the man who was sleeping lightly on the couch opposite him, and said word by word: "I don't know what method it is, but I am sure that before your grandfather fell into a coma, he had already figured out a sure-fire way to defeat the strong with the weak in this game."

Everyone was surprised and delighted. Jing Ping was extremely shocked and asked Qiaochu why he said that.
After he asked this question, everyone calmed down from their excitement and looked at Qiaochu.
Qiaochu pointed at the three people on the other couch and said, "Think about it. Although your master doesn't want Concubine Lang to know some of his affairs, such as that he was poisoned, if Concubine Lang knew about it and asked about it, it would inevitably lead to the things behind it. But the initiative of whether to tell and how to tell is always in your master's hands. After all, it's okay for Concubine Lang to know about the poisoning. She is your master's wife. Even if it involves Miss Shen... it would be troublesome if the emperor and the prince knew..."
"If this assumption is true, and he has no other options and his physical condition does not allow him to participate in the hunt, do you think he will drug these three people and weaken our strength again?"
"I understand!" Jing Qing nodded repeatedly, stood up and said excitedly: "I must have thought of other ways!"
Lao Tie and Fang Ming looked at each other, and Jing Ping was slightly relieved at this time. The analysis of this arrogant master was correct...
He immediately became anxious, pacing back and forth in the tent, frowning, and muttering, "What method did you come up with?"
Gu Qiaochu walked to the bedside of King Rui, staring at the still sleeping man, thinking, last time I gave you the general's order, you gave me a hint with your beauty, this time...
She sat down beside him and carefully recalled all his actions before he fell into coma. She thought she would not remember, but now she remembered everything about him. She suddenly remembered that his eyes swept in two directions...
She was right beside him at the time, and she whispered casually about how to win.
Not losing is winning. He seemed to say this lightly, but unfortunately, after he subdued the people in Lang Mansion, he fainted before he could say anything else...
Suddenly, I heard the beauty behind me whisper, "Master, everyone, isn't this game divided into three rounds? If we save some of the prey from the first two rounds for the third round, then can't we secure victory in one round?"
She sighed inwardly and was about to speak when Jing Qing jumped up excitedly, "Yes, this is a good idea!"
Jing Ping immediately objected, "No, this can only guarantee victory in one round. If one of the other three groups wins the other two rounds in a row, then we will still lose."
Jing Qing was stunned, and immediately became defeated, and sat back in his chair in a sullen manner. The beauty frowned slightly, and quickly thought of something, and said, "What if we divide the prey from the first round equally into the second and third rounds?"
"This works!" Jing Qing jumped up in joy again, as if all of a sudden there was no grudge between him and the beauty.
Lao Tie and Fang Ming's faces also relaxed slightly.
Qiaochu glanced at Jingping, who seemed to be thinking about something. When he received her gaze, he paused slightly... Suddenly, the curtain was lifted and a voice sounded faintly, "No, this method is totally unfeasible."
Everyone was startled, the person who came was Shen Qingling dressed as Fang Jing...
With experts like Laotie and Meiren among the crowd, they should not have failed to notice someone coming, which shows how tense everyone was just now.
The beauty didn't know Shen Qingling's background, her face changed, and she pulled out the long whip from her waist and hit her.
As soon as Qiaochu said "Stop", Laotie turned over and jumped in front of Shen Qingling, blocking the beauty's attack.
Shen Qingling glanced at the beauty and walked to the side of Prince Rui's bed.
Jing Ping was very nervous and asked, "Why did the girl come here? What if the Pope and the Crown Prince find out?"
Shen Qingling smiled and said it was okay. She asked the emperor for permission and he specially approved her to come in and watch the fight. She looked at Qiaochu again and said calmly, "Please make way."
Qiaochu stood up and gave her the seat. She knew that Shen Qingling did not avoid the beauty because she believed that she would never keep her identity secret from the beauty.
Jing Qing was anxious and said, "Miss Qingling, this..."
Shen Qingling glanced at the beauty, with a hint of mockery in her eyes. She said in a calm voice, "The method of leaving the prey behind in one round and moving the knife to other rounds may work when both sides are evenly matched, but it won't work if the difference in power is too great!"
"Leaving the prey from the first two rounds to the third round can only secure victory in the third round, which is useless. Jingping has just explained the reason, so I won't say more. It is even more wrong to evenly distribute the prey from the first round to the second and third rounds! Take the prince's group and our group as an example. Now their number is almost twice ours. If they can hunt 50 of the prey from the first round in one round and distribute it to the last two rounds, then each round will have 75 prey, but the prince's group will still have 100 prey in each round, so we still lose."
She smiled coldly and continued, "There is absolutely no way we can win this round! I just used the data as an analogy. I don't know how strong Qiaomei and Qiaorong are, but I think they must be strong. As for the archery skills of the prince and Cao Zhaonan, I have known them for many years, and I can be sure that they are definitely the best among all the people in this group. One can fight three hunters. If Jinghong were here, he could compete with the prince or Cao Zhaonan with his archery skills. Uncle Tie is good at kung fu, but his archery skills are only average. Jingping and Jingqing's archery skills are not top-notch either..."
"The Emperor is a very shrewd man. He seems to have made up his mind to pass the military talisman to Jinghong. He knows that Jinghong has the skill of controlling beasts with sound, so she should be able to win, but... " She paused here, her voice slightly hoarse, "I almost always participate in the palace's annual hunting. I know everyone's strength best. If we calculate based on their true strength, using data as an analogy, in each round, if our group has 50 prey, the prince's group will have at least 200, while the Xia Wang and Ning Wang's groups are of similar strength, and each group has only about 100 at most."
When everyone heard her say this, they all froze in their places as if they had been defeated. Although Meiren hated her attitude, she knew that her analysis was reasonable. She held the whip tightly in her hand and looked at Qiaochu worriedly.
Qiaochu took a deep breath, and saw Shen Qingling slightly bent down and said softly to King Rui, "Jinghong, it doesn't matter if we can't win this time, I will definitely help you... Get well soon..."
Qiaochu smiled coldly, and suddenly wanted to say to her, if it weren't for your momentary willfulness, based on what Shangguan Jinghong had done before
